This is unreal. I'm looking forward to a new wave of modern ports for N64 games I missed.

I was able to get the Zelda one working via compiling the tool with the assets. With the new tooling, has anyone been able to get any other games working?

[–] drasglaf@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea how to compile the tool, and there are no complete instructions in the github page. Otherwise I would have tried by now.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

The tool is pretty easy to compile: https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp/issues/20

The issue is getting the elf and assets files. z64 files are easy to get/find/generate. Thats about all I know.

Having Goldeneye 007 on PC would be great.

I've played Golden Eye on PC through a hacked emulator that was updated for modern control schemes (and kb/m!) as well as running at 60 fps and higher resolutions. Idk about the rules for posting links, but it played like butter and i had so much fun playing the campaign.

It was similar experience to playing the Metroid Prime series through a hacked dolphin emulator. Insane what people are capable of doing.

There is a fan remake in source if that'll do for you.

That's on|y the multiplayer if I remember correctly.

With mappable mouse keyboard controls I imagine it would be really fun

[–] weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Modding would take it to the next level. You could do all kinds of stuff with that.
